Spiraling

My granddaughter and I decided we were up for climbing the 219 steps to the top of the St Augustine lighthouse. We had a plan to watch the sunset from far above the Old Town with views of about 40 miles in each direction. Overcoming claustrophobia, fear of heights, and stamina, we did it! But sunset did not materialize so here is a view of the steps instead.
Fabulous image and probably disturbing for someone with a fear of heights.

Great shot of the steps. I only tried that lighthouse once. We were part way up when they closed it due to high winds.

Very cool, great POV and repeating patterns

Super capture, pov

Wonderful POV and composition. I love the line of bells up the middle.

Super against black.

Showing all the hard work you did to get to the top!

Great shot. I've been up there a couple of times. Surprised that you didn't get a sunset up there tonight as it looked pretty good from where I was. Although, there did seem to be more clouds in your direction. Too bad the moon's not rising earlier so you could see that also.

Great effort to make the climb and what a cool pov! This would make me a bit dizzy.

@rickster549 Thick clouds on the horizon so we decided to head down and drive to Ft Matanzas area. It was pretty but more on the drive than once we got there.

@redy4et Definitely dizzying walking down!
January 25th, 2022  
Now that's some sort of exercise both up and down! Pity about the sunset but good focus on the stairs!

To have such an adventure with your granddaughter must have been fun even if the sunset was subdued. Very much like the mesmerizing effect
